Camila Cabello and Taylor Swift have become very close friends over the years and now Camila is opening up about the first time that they met!

It’s no secret that Camila was a huge fan of Taylor‘s before they became friends and their first meeting happened at the 2015 MTV VMAs.

“I remember I was in my group at the time and we’d just won an award,” Camila told Billboard. “I was like, ‘It’s the perfect opportunity to say hi to her.’ Her and Ella [Yelich-O’Connor] — Lorde — were sitting next to each other, and I was like, ‘I just wanted to say I’m such a huge fan of you guys and I love your music and you’ve inspired me so much.’ They were like, ‘Thanks.’”

Camila saw them again at the after party. “She was just like, ‘Hey, come sit,’” she said. “We were just talking and, yeah, we became friends. I feel like we’re really similar as people. We’re both very emotional and like a lot of the same things. Even small things like poetry or the same kind of films or very girly kind of stuff.”

“There’s definitely moments where it feels like, I don’t know, my brain is 100 percent confused,” Camila said about her past year. “When I was on the Reputation Tour, [Swift] would sing an old song every night from past albums, and she would just give me flashbacks of when I was 13. That’s weird, because I’m, like, right here, every night.”

Here’s what the 21-year-old “Never Be The Same” singer-songwriter had to say…

On celebrity: “I know that it would be a lot more interesting for people if I posted more about my private life or was involved in the gossip or whatever…I just don’t like it. I just want to be a good artist. I don’t want to be a great celebrity. I’m not!”

On a video of her kissing 31-year-old boyfriendMatthew Husseyin front of cheering fans: “Those were my biggest, biggest, most hard-core fans and they know him anyway, because they know that we’re together. I thought it was really cute when they did that, and it’s like a trusted circle…they’re chanting my mom’s and my manager’s and my dad’s and my sister’s name, so they know a lot, so I thought it was really cute when they said that, and I was just like, ‘Let’s give them a kiss.’”

On taking a break: “The five years that I was in the group, I don’t feel like that counts. I really have just been a solo artist for a year, so I can’t take an extended break…I don’t feel like I should do that, you know? I think that there will be a time where I want to take a few months to go live in Spain or in Italy and just pig out and just not have any discipline or any responsibility. But I feel like I haven’t really earned that yet. I don’t feel like I’ve earned an extended break.”
